The Ghanaian highlife artist Kwabena Kwabena, whose real name is George Kwabena Adu, has disclosed that he was once treated disrespectfully by a gospel performer.
The singer claims that he was written off as just a highlife performer trying to make a gospel EP.
He claimed that the musician’s reaction during their encounters made him feel like an outsider, “a worldly person” who shouldn’t have dabbled in gospel music.
Prior to his eventual cooperation with gospel artist Obaapa Christy on his seventh album, God of Restoration EP, he talked candidly about this problem in an interview with Doreen Avio on Daybreak Hitz.
“There was one particular gospel artist for obvious reasons, I won’t mention the name, but I believe it was a bit disrespectful.
“She made me feel like a worldly person. I called her personally and she told me to speak with her husband”, she said on Hitz FM.
The artist also thanked gospel musician Obaapa Christy for granting his request for a collaboration.
“I would like to appreciate Obaapa Christy. When I phoned her to talk about doing a song, she made me feel she was rather honored to do a song with me.”
“It was so humbling, and I say thank you and may God bless her very much. I now understand why she is quite unique,” he added.
